I'm looking at a third generation Ford Explorer later. What

if you make any dumb move driving, people WILL assume you're a 30 something mother of two who is distracted by dora and flying pieces of shit

otherwise, yeah go for it

what's the worst that can happen?

you'll get stuck offroading exploring a rutted road?

oh wait

you're gonna stick to the road

so you have nothing to worry about

i'm sure it can get through a bit of grass with no problem

Transmissions are total garbage, get out before it's too late. Google this shit OP.

>>14801408
What, really? We had a second gen when I was growing up, it was on its first transmission, and we ran that thing two 180,000 miles

>>14801324
>third generation Ford Explorer
Those have the shit tier mod motor. Go with second gen.

>>14801408
Fuck my tranny is giving out right now actually.

>>14801324
Well if you ever plan on wrenching this car the spark plug replacements looks like it's going to be a pain in the fucking ass

>>14802368

That's pretty lewd, anon.

>>14802388
You're right i should have worded it different children browse this board

OP here, would I be better off in a first gen Subaru Forester ?

>>14801324
Why not just pick up a 00 or 01? You would get the bullet proof 5 0 and the better tranny than anything that was put in after. The 3rd gen and up use a 5r55 which is just a beefed up electronic A4ld, which are garbage. If yoy have to get a 3rd gen, stick with the v8, the 4.0 is ok but it has retarded timing chain setup.

> sealed transmission, no dipstick or anything
> shitty interior
> rust

You could do better OP. The transmissions on these are shit and will be the first component to fail.

>>14801324
yeah reall nice truck, shame about the transmission or else it would be a solid choice
